Aluminium Doors Melbourne
Custom aluminium sliding, stacker, hinged and French doors, and bi-fold doors for Melbourne new homes, extensions and renovations. JL Windows & Doors offers supply-only quotations and local installation options, with a Melbourne showroom where you can compare door styles before ordering.
Choose the Door System Around the Project
Door selection depends on opening size, panel layout, access, threshold, glass, performance requirements and how the space is intended to operate. JL can compare suitable systems from the project plans or replacement requirements rather than asking clients to select an internal profile code.
Essential Series
Practical aluminium doors for everyday residential applications.
Suitable where durability, straightforward operation and value are the main priorities. Depending on configuration, Essential options can suit sliding, stacker and hinged-door applications.
Thermal Series
Thermally broken aluminium door systems for stronger whole-opening performance.
Designed for projects where frame thermal separation, double glazing and broader performance requirements are important.
Thermal Plus Series
Higher-specification door solutions for demanding architectural briefs.
Used where the project calls for more advanced thermal packages, larger or more demanding glazed openings, or higher specification requirements.
Door Styles
Sliding & Stacker Doors
Horizontal sliding panels preserve internal floor space. Stacker configurations use multiple moving panels to create wider openings and stronger indoor–outdoor connections.
Hinged & French Doors
Single and paired hinged configurations for entries, side access, laundries, living areas and architectural openings.
Bi-fold Doors
Multiple panels fold and stack to one or both sides, creating a broad opening where the architecture and available stacking space suit the configuration.

Performance Matters More on Large Openings
As door openings become larger, panel size, glass weight, rollers or hinges, interlocks, structural opening, sill, drainage and installation become increasingly important. Selected JL door configurations are supported by AS 2047 performance testing. Review the JL performance summary and whole-window thermal data.
Thresholds, Drainage & Access
Door sill selection should be coordinated with floor levels, external drainage, weather exposure and project access requirements. Where a low or step-free threshold is required, the surrounding building design and drainage strategy need to be considered with the selected door system.
Planning an Aluminium Door Replacement
For a replacement door, send clear photos from inside and outside, approximate opening width and height, and your Melbourne suburb. Tell us whether you want to retain the opening or change its layout. Removal, surrounding finishes, site access and installation inclusions should be confirmed in the quotation.
Sliding, stacker or hinged doors?
Sliding and stacker doors suit layouts where a swinging leaf would use valuable space. Hinged doors and French doors need clear swing space. Bi-fold doors need room for the folded panels. The opening, furniture layout and outdoor access help determine which is practical.
Aluminium Door FAQs for Melbourne Projects
Which aluminium door is best for a large opening?
The right option depends on opening width, panel weight, stacking space, threshold, drainage, glass and required performance. Sliding, stacker and bi-fold doors solve different layout requirements.
Can JL supply and install aluminium doors?
JL can quote supply only or supply and installation, depending on the project scope. Send plans and a door schedule for a new build, or photos and approximate sizes for an existing opening.
What affects the price of an aluminium door?
Size, panel configuration, frame series, glass, colour, hardware, screens and installation scope affect the quotation. Ask for the selected specification and supply or installation inclusions to be listed so you can compare equivalent options.
Do I need thermally broken frames?
Compare thermally broken frames where the energy report or project brief calls for stronger whole-opening thermal performance. Send the available project documents so JL can review suitable frame and glass options.
